Reactive dog training notes - week 1

Reactive dog class - week 1

Think about energy

Do watch me at least 10 times
- have 3 seconds to respond

Cup hands under chin and gently rub back along chin, one side and the other

Circles on sides, very slowly

Lavender oil

Visitors - do not let visitors look directly in the eyes

Hand touch - use to divert attention away from something that's bothering them

Peanut butter on lid- have Sam touch lid., also smear some on hand and do touches
Bring lid on walks and when dog comes toward, direct attention to lid

Exercise is important, especially for high energy dogs

Emergency U turn - Don't want dog ever to face another dog. Put yourself between other dog.

Homework:

If positives or negatives try to find out what triggered it.
Dog should turn it's head to watch wherever you are in house
Take treats on walk and practice avoidance. Last recourse is to shield dog on side of trail.
